A probation officer has been charged with custodial sexual misconduct for allegedly committing sodomy with a man on probation who was under his supervision.

Probation officer Michael Dwyne Burton, 36, turned himself in to the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit on Wednesday and was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail, police said. Burton’s bail was set at $15,000.

On Tuesday, Tuscaloosa police were called to DCH Regional Medical Center to take a report from a 34-year-old man who said he had been sodomized by his probation officer.

The man told police that he had been reporting to Burton at the probation office since Jan. 10 and during that time, he said Burton had touched him and tried to kiss him. He said on Tuesday afternoon, Burton had sodomized him.

The victim provided police with audio recordings that police said supported the allegations.

State law makes it a felony for probation and parole officers to engage in sexual conduct with people who are under their supervisory, disciplinary, or custodial authority.
